"No issue for me": Jaylen Brown defends action during altercation with Miami Heat’s Duncan Robinson

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown has defended his actions during the match against the Miami Heat.

The 27-year-old was involved in an altercation with Heat’s Duncan Robinson during the contest. The incident did not leave Robinson pleased as he stated: "Just thought it was dangerous, unnecessary and excessive," he said.

Brown, while talking to the media after the match, defended his actions and stated that the 29-year-old was aware of what he was doing.

"There was no issue for me," he said. "I think he knew exactly what he was trying to do. Trying to get tangled up, etc., because he didn't want to play defense. They called the foul, but he was still trying to hang on, so I was trying to get my arm free.

"Miami's known for being physical. Miami's known for getting away with a lot of that stuff, kind of mucking up the game. You know, at the end of the day, you got to protect and own your space.

“I feel like Duncan Robinson knew what he was doing there, trying to get tangled up, trying to draw whatever. I don't know what he was trying to do, but I bet you he won't do it again."

The Celtics came out on top in the contest with a score of 110-106 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
